+* **Partial is useful in cases when a function needs to be passed as an argument, because it enables us to set the arguments beforehand.**
+* **A few examples being `'defaultdict(<function>)'`, `'iter(<function>, to_exclusive)'` and dataclass's `'field(default_factory=<function>)'`.**
 
 ### Nonlocal
 **If variable is being assigned to anywhere in the scope, it is regarded as a local variable, unless it is declared as a 'global' or a 'nonlocal'.**
